Hanging Baskets

Have you seen the hanging baskets at Hughes? There are 4 or 5 of them across the front of the store. Beautiful!!! The red flowers are begonias, and the green heart shaped leaves are sweet potato vines.
I tried an unscientific experiment a few weeks ago. I cut up organic sweet potatoes, and placed them cut side down in one of my seed flats. After a couple weeks they started to sprout!!!! So now I can plant them in my flower beds to creep along the ground. It is too late this year to plant them for the tubers though, they take 90-120 days. But now that I know how to propagate them, I will start them in early spring.
That way we will have some to plant in the garden, and some to put in hanging baskets. I love these.
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
